If this is real and it somehow was released I still wouldn't take any vaccine offered for it. If the government mandated it as a condition of employment I'd quit or work under the table. If It really was that fatal we wouldn't have a traditional job market (or government) for that long anyway. Even a 10% drop of the US population would totally destabilize the country and disrupt existing power structures.

If you've moved to a rural area and you have water and backup power it's not that hard to isolate and watch the world figure it out on their own.

Could you make a post about this for the citybugs? I have the money to make the move but how would getting food work?

I depends on where you're considering moving. I wouldn't pick a place that totally isolated unless you have a lot of previous farming and homesteading knowledge. I'd pick a rural area with people living on 1-10 acres plots. This will be spread out enough that it will have lots of white right wing folks but it won't be so isolated that you can't meet people to learn from. If you choose wisely you can still commute into a larger city and keep a lucrative city job. You don't want to get trapped in a rural area with no steady income.

Food isn't as much of a worry as water, power and neighborhood defensive plans. Most people have excess body fat and can live on a lot fewer calories then they think they need. Clean water is critical as is power. If you have power (generator, solar, gasifier, hydro, etc) you can run freezers and keep a year or two of meat. Meat combined with cheap long term storage grain (like rice or pasta) is all you need for food. Don't try to live on just dry goods. Those should be absolute last resorts. You want water and power so you can garden and thrive not just survive.

Find a house with more than an acre of land (5 plus is better) in a rural area and if you're friendly to your neighbors when you move in they will show you the ropes. I'd recommend spending time outside as much as possible and volunteering to help with community projects in order to socialized. Find the one or two guys that seem to know everyone else and you've made things easier on yourself. Get an off road vehicle and find the local bar and go drink at it.
